your sugar sits untouched;

« The truth is this: My love for you is the only empire I will ever build. »

[jurispotence]

Books read in 2024: THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS by Ursula K. Le Guin

But it was from the difference between us, not from the affinities and likenesses, but from the difference, that that love came: and it was itself the bridge, the only bridge, across what divided us.

[disjunkt]

In times of old, the web was filled with website collectives, miniature kingdoms wherein the masters of their domain erected many a shrine and other devotions as expressions of their ardent love. To travellers of the web, worshippers and fellow artists, these devotions were surely sites of wonder, revelation, inspiration and connection. Time has passed, shrines have crumbled, and kingdoms have come and gone, leaving us their ruins to roam, marvel at and bemoan — and memories, oh so many memories.

In this tiny sphere of the web, the love lives on: Kingdoms have endured, shrines are built and rebuilt, seedlings of new realms are ever sprouting, and dreams continue to be dreamt — of new creations, of return, reforging and reunion, of love that shall burn bright and hold us together for years to come.

---

To anyone interested in making shrines (shrines as in fan websites), I present: the Our Kingdoms Eternal Site Marathon. The goal of this event is to create, remake or expand on websites and webpages that serve as the foundation of our future shrine-making. That entails so-called shrine collectives (portal websites so to speak) and their adjacent pages (guestbooks, update logs, layout archives etc.) as well as community-oriented site projects.

The event runs from 1 May to 4 October 2026 for a total of five months, with sign-ups closing at the end of July. More information and sign-up form on the event website.

The event is accompanied by a discussion site over at Dreamwidth where you can get to know other webmasters in this sphere, brainstorm together and ask for help.

Tidus illustration I drew during my livestream <:)

I'm currently making my way through FF10 and I like Tidus a lot. The Blitzball games are absolutely unfun to play but I love the game you see during the opening cutscene, it's so cool.
